This reminds me of when I worked in a residential treatment center, and one of the kids told me years later that he didn't let himself sleep the first few nights because the center looked like a "haunted mansion" he had seen in a horror movie, and he was convinced that all of the counselors were vampires and going to take his blood in the night. It's sometimes hard for us well-meaning adults to really understand how terrifying going to a new place can be for a traumatized kid. Your family is so amazing and I love the picture of Andrew holding his baby brother!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35646650856684936.post-24372326821997903122012-08-31T21:14:11.337-07:002012-08-31T21:14:11.337-07:00Thank you.Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35646650856684936.post-85696711818809594362012-08-31T18:26:21.850-07:002012-08-31T18:26:21.850-07:00This makes my heart so very happy.

God love you and bless you all. It is beautiful he feels so strongly that he wants to share his testimony with others so they will have a chance at a happy life. My Lord, it is heartbreaking that kids are made afraid to be welcomed into the love of a family because they're told they'll be cut up.
